Tom Campbell

[nostradamus]

Are you thinking of trading him in? He's been named starting ruck this week in the absence of big Will.

He looked good in the NAB cup, and if he ends up staying in the team its likely to be as a key fwd/changing ruck

[treebeard]

I got him. A good downgrade for Stephenson, and allowed me to keep Cameron as an emergency in my forwards.

[its me lads]

hmmm. if you have the cash then might be worth it.

he's only 85k

Everyone that has Big O and isn't short on trades should be making this one!

[Boomz]

Get him! He is a beast... flowering dogs stole him

[Capper]

cause the dons need more talls

[Alka]

Won't he be out next week when Minson comes back?

I'll wait and see, have more pressing trades at the moment, but thanks for bringing him to my attention.

Like me. :D I'm taking a punt on him, figuring that i won't need to put Zorko in my trading plan anymore. :D

big call trading him in without having played a game yet

Big O to Campbell is a good trade to free up cash and spare yourself a zero for R13, nothing else.

He was named this round and I'll be bringing him in next round even if he does just score 5

Precisely. He will not have to start for me again. :)

So is the consensus that we should get in Campbell for Stephensen not Redden?

If you had both who you make the trade for?

Personally I think Stephenson's has better JS than Redden for several reasons.

1) Simpson is not proven and if he spuds it up the Big O should be back in.
2) Stephensen is mature aged and Geelong will want to get him experience/games in case he has to play finals. Whereas Port won't play finals.
3) Lobbe is back and I think will take Redden's spot with Renouf playing the support role.
4) Redden has spudded it up so far this season.

Yes they are all very good points. But:

1) Stephensen is higher priced, therefore more money to be made and some people may tight on money (like me, so every dollar counts)
2) Campbell will not start again for the rest of the year after this week.
